terrific branding & typo-graphics from the spain based designer. m.

“Traiguera is rich with olive groves, some of them planted during the classical and medieval periods. Since it was a walled village, Traiguera has seen its culture and history reflected in the stones of the August Route which circulates across fields of monumental olive trees. 300 examples the trees have been found where the passing of time has influenced these living monuments. In Traiguera many olive trees have a trunk diameter of 7 or 8 meters, but one of them stands out with a diameter of 10,20 meters, which makes it the biggest olive tree in the entire territory.”
